That's the way I'm looking at running too Neems. I am so very definitely stopping at 2 so I've got the rest of my life now to get my running back. I've actually got a bit of a goal for getting 'good' again when I hit the V40 category (3 years away) I didn't run parkrun on Saturday because my hips were hurting. I spent friday feeling like I was being punched on the top of my left hip bone and a few people said I look like I've dropped this week so I think the baby just did a bit of a general change of position. I feel fine now so hopefully I'll be up to something this weekend. I'm 33 weeks and am feeling exactly the same - huge and uncomfortable. I can;t get comfy on hardly any seats. I just want to sit with my feet up but I can't at work! I think I'll work from home tomorrow, see if that helps. It was Sylvie's birthday on Saturday and the day wiped us both out! Luckily she wanted a lazy day on the sofa playing with present on Saturday while I napped  I can't give any c-section advice either. I started back running after 5 weeks with Sylvie and I remember very clearly knowing ti was the right time. One day I was thinking I can't wait to run one day soon and then the next day I thought I can't wait to go for a run tonight. Walking is quite different to running though. I did feel a bit jiggled about after my first run back (which was 4 x 400m on a running track). I think before getting back to running I was doing a couple of miles walking with the pram here and there. I found this website really helpful thealphaparent.com And it's got specific c-section advice. I liked how it explained what your body was doing so you can then decide what you think you are capable of doing. |

A no for us this month. Even though the attitude is 'not trying, just not preventing' i think we were both more disappointed than last time it was a no. Might have to up the 'not trying' to the next level....

Sorry lise. I would really recommend the ovulation predictor kits. We used them for the first time this month and... I'm pregnant! Not even four weeks yet so super early but fingers crossed. |

Congratulations Lambkin I would second use of a method to know when you are ovulating. I used an app called fertility friend and would not have got pregnant second time if I hadn't used it. I was ovulating around day 23 of my cycle. Others ovulate very early. All you need is the app and a thermometer to take your temperature every day. Might be cheaper than OPK kits... |

I had a midwife appointment on Monday and she said that my bump was measuring small (ha! it's ginormous) and referred me for a growth scan. So I went for a scan yesterday and they said the baby was measuring big and I had a lot of fluid so I had to have a diabetes test today. They said I have to wait until my next midwife appointment to find out the results. A 2 week wait when I've only got 6 to go sounds wrong to me, especially when diabetes and a big baby might mean I'll have to be induced early! Hopefully it's nothing though, otherwise my home birth idea is out of the window. Now I know it's big I'm slightly concerned about being at home anyway. Sylvie was 8lb 1 but I never got a late scan with her so no idea what size she was at this stage last time. This one is apparently almost 6lb already :-S |
